Workplace evidence
Work, care and the whole person.
The workplace lens is psychosocial risks and power in algorithmically managed work. Source setting or population: Algorithmic management across platforms and traditional sectors such as logistics, retail and healthcare. Parenting and child-development outcomes are not inferred from the workplace evidence.

Editorial reading guide · Respect
Who should bear responsibility for psychosocial risks created by algorithmic management?
This occupational health editorial analysis examines psychosocial risks and power in algorithmically managed work. Its TRICK home is Respect, an editorial reading path rather than a claim that the paper tests the full framework.
Study context
Algorithmic management across platforms and traditional sectors such as logistics, retail and healthcare
Age / stage: Workplace literature or conceptual analysis; no single child age range
Read with three questions
- Who should bear responsibility for psychosocial risks created by algorithmic management?
- What do this study’s design and population — Algorithmic management across platforms and traditional sectors such as logistics, retail and healthcare — allow you to infer about another workplace?
- When considering psychosocial risks and power in algorithmically managed work, which decisions would need employee input before applying this reading to a working family’s circumstances?
Keep the limits in view
This is a scholarly editorial drawing on prior research, not an original cohort or intervention study; proposed risk pathways require empirical testing.
